Customizing a new base..

Tue Mar 11, 2003 4:19 am by beltic

With all the different topics on new systems, bases, adding ships, etc.. I was wondering how difficult it would be to create a "custom" base -

Meaning, as an example -

Ithica Station in New York System. The infocard on this shows it to be "abandonded".. Im wondering how much effort it will take to "reactivate" this base - possibly as a base for a new faction, etc.

Along those same lines, the possibility of re-using Alaska?

Perhaps we could use Ithica and/or Alaska's system as a "developers system" - create new bases/stations/weapons/etc.. and have a system thats just for R&D (in the game world anyway..)

Im going to attempt to try and figure out how to re-activate Ithica.. Any suggestions? Im sure I would replace the "model" with a more complete, undamaged station, but at least thats a start..

I think the idea of a "dev system" for modders to test stuff out is a great idea. I think it has been mentioned before though. I dont have info on how to do this, but if you find the other person(s) who wanted to do this, maybe you could hook up and come up with the perfect system (in game of coarse) to test stuff.

A suggestion if you are going to create or convert a system for dev purposes: start out small. Create a simple system first. I know you want to get a better looking 'version' of Ithica working, but if I were you I'd start out by just copying a station you already know works. Plus, lets get this up and running before you attempt to bring factions into the picture.

Just a suggestion

But who knows? It may or may not be easy. I have not messed with systems yet, so who am I to say what? lol

I created a META thread for this here:

http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/forum/t ... er&M=False

It is titled "PROJECT: Creating new systems". Part of the project is to create 1 base in there to also learn how to make a base.
